Pet Peeves

[catastrophe]

When a ball carrier is stood up by a defender and another defender runs from behind to tackle and they get like 3 more yards

This is a great one. Why does it happen so often?

I'm struggling with scoop-n-score. Feels too forced

I think players are just conditioned to go hard at the ball no matter what. But so often they'd be better served by slowing down and pulling the guy back

But then you don't get to get in a lick on the ball-carrier. Def better to hit em from the side or front tho. Those licks add up.

On a related note, walking past the massaging recliner aisle at NFM is like diving IRL into Idiocracy.  It's a real journey.

Like many Midwestern'rs I have a storm door that opens out and sometimes food delivery people leave the food right in front of the door forcing me to crush or knock over the food attempting to retrieve it. There is a chair to set it on right next to the door, so this is particularly peeving

Writing thing, but painting yourself into a corner in which you have to say "that that." I normally despise thats. Two in a row really peeves me.

I love doing this, like discovering a linguistic Easter egg

I read it, reread it, and then hang my head and think, "Well, 'that that' makes the most sense, here."

If that ain’t me.
I will also re-write a sentence to avoid saying something like “a whole other” unless I’m specifically calling someone out for typing a whole nother (which, why would you even type that? I get saying it out loud but typing that out? C’mon man)

[Kat Kid]

In college I was trying to write an essay at the last minute and could not break down “whole nother” in to comprehensible English and just included it.

[mocat]

Did you try "whole other"

I see this as a common Instagram thing where they change the fonts to something basically unreadable. Normally I don't care but one of the most egregious offenders is a bar with music I like





Stop please

why don't you walk around from the back? Or track the order and watch for the guy when close and then open the door for them?

Because I'm not a weirdo

Well I am but not THAT kind of weirdo

Doggie SF normally poops twice on our walk. Always has, no idea why she can't just get it done the first time. This is a mild annoyance in the spring, summer, and fall. It is def peeve territory in the winter. Having to take my gloves off twice and spend extra time in the freezing ass cold is the worst.

[star seed 7]

My lab was like that. I would just make her poop before we started so it was only once away from home.
